11 October 2024 -The Tax Administration Act stipulates that an individual must register with both a Recognised Controlling Body (RCB) and SARS as a Tax Practitioner if they wish to provide tax related services to taxpayers. An RCB is responsible for overseeing the registration and admission of Tax Practitioners. RCBs are also required to manage their tax practitioner members’ compliance to the registration requirements. To support RCBs and tax practitioners in fulfilling these responsibilities, SARS has reworked the ‘Criteria for the registration of Tax Practitioners and the recognition of controlling bodies’ as previously published and agreed to.
See the following guides for more information:
